Briefing before the district courts and U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeals, however, has stricter requirements. Oral advocacy also differs in these courts in its particularity and policy basis. Our panel of experts will guide you through preparing and executing the most effective written and oral presentations of the legal issues in federal court.

Organizing Case Issues for Briefing
Precision Writing and Policy Arguments
Condensing for Oral Arguments
